3 places where they’re makin’ bacon doughnuts

You can be too hip for a bacon-studded doughnut, that gilded object of gastro pub lust that’s so very 2009.

But even a hipster must recognize that a doughnut is a genius vehicle for bacon. It’s the sweet to bacon’s salty, the foamy-soft to bacon’s crisp.

We’re obsessing on bacon doughnuts today because the wicked publicist who reps Rhino Doughnuts & Coffee sent us a reminder that Saturday is International Bacon Day and dangled this exclamatory prompt by email:

Here’s the cruel part: Rhino won’t have a location in Palm Beach County until later this month, when it opens at Mizner Park in Boca Raton (126 NE 2nd St.; RhinoDoughnuts.com).

Luckily, Rhino isn’t the only shop in the bacon doughnut game. Here are three places to indulge your craving. Afterwards, hipsters, you can go back to your vinegar shrub-spritzed cocktails and foraged purslane.

JUPITER DONUT FACTORY

This family-owned bakery and café makes sinful maple-bacon bars ($1.50) that are gobbled up quickly. Adding a layer of temptation, the bakery has been offering a peanut butter-bacon bar on its daily specials menu.

The place opens daily from 6 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tip: Get there early – they sell out early.

Jupiter Donut Factory: 141 Center St., Jupiter

RELISH:

The Northwood burger joint not only serves great burgers and shakes, it makes hot, fresh doughnuts for dessert. At $5.99 for five, $9.99 for 10 and $14.99 for 15, the doughnuts come in flavors such as salted caramel, peanut butter cup, cinnamon sugar and cookies n’ cream.

But here’s a secret that’s not on the menu: Upon request, Relish will add bacon to your doughnuts or milkshake.
